I picked up a copy of this LP last week. It's pretty chill. The entire album is steamable on Soundcloud.

I bought Konstrukt and Joe McPhee's "Babylon" several years ago and just now got around to listening to it. Damn, it is good.
 
The Hiroshi Suzuki - Cat LP was just re-released on 180G vinyl with half speed mastering. Only a few OG copies have turned up for sale over the past few years and have gone for $800. The previous reissue had been selling for $100 for a while now also.

This album ("Tonk of the Lawn") was a huge cult classic in Iceland in the early 2000s. A (mostly) visual artist made it, put it it out on CD and from it this was a minor radio hit. I listened to it a lot back then but slowly forgot about it. He went on to become a really successful visual artist, showing at the Venice Biennale etc.

Cut to a week ago when I went to the modern art museum here in Reykjavik and an LP version was in the gift shop for sale. No record shops carried it, you could only buy it from an art museum's gift shop. Super excited, I picked up a copy, while thinking putting it in an art museums gift shop was the perfect way to reissue an album you thought had been overlooked.
Anyway, the whole thing is on Spotify with an obscenely low play count. Check it.

Thanks for sharing. Iceland is one of the countries I have been fascinated with since I was young. I've been driving all around central California lately where there's nothing much but farmland as far as the eye can see. These have kept me going:https://youtu.be/muQhSqhUa-o
